Hound Road, Netley Abbey

Situated on the fringes of the Victoria country Park amongst a wooden enclave and set in half an acre of private gardens bordered by a stream, a cool and stylish contemporary home set over four floors and extending to over 2700 square feet offering superb entertaining space, ample driveway parking and garaging.

My clients have owned the property for 20 years and during their period of ownership have extensively remodelled both internally and externally to now provide a stunning contemporary home. This is a property that must be viewed as the exterior belies the interior, with the space this property offers, along with stunning views from the rear of the property sweeping down the gardens towards the woodlands. Due to the nature of the plot the bedrooms are situated on the ground and first floor- Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4 are on the ground floor, with Bedroom 2 in particular being generous in size, dual aspect with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden; this room could easily be split into two bedrooms if five bedrooms were needed. A contemporary shower room and laundry room complete this floor. On the first floor is an impressive principal bedroom suite extending the extent of this floor with balconies from both the bedroom and bathroom area, ample wardrobe cupboards and a stunning bathroom with egg bath, a contemporary column wash handbasin and a curved mosaic walk-in shower. This is an outstanding space some 37’ in length. Moving down to the lower ground floor reception space; the Kitchen/Breakfast Room has a bank of bifold doors opening fully to a substantial terrace overlooking the stunning backdrop of trees providing a superb space to entertain; there are ample cupboards with a Corian island unit with breakfast bar and a range of appliances. The Sitting Room has a large picture window providing a glorious view towards the trees and centres on a contemporary fireplace with the facility for a log burner. Stairs lead down to a spectacular room, split level with a contemporary gas log burner to one end. This room is some 39 ft in length opening out to a glorious seating area, part enclosed with rendered walls and a swim spa. There is also a WC on this floor, in addition to lower ground floor. Outside the property is approached via a block paved driveway leading to the detached oak clad double garage with fitted cupbards. The driveway sweeps around the property to the rear providing additional parking. The gardens really are stunning, in addition to the substantial terrace off the kitchen and lower terrace with swim spa, there is a children's play area and sweeping lawns with mature trees leading down to a stream.

Netley Abbey remains a hidden gem with a good range of local amenities and a train station within walking distance just under half a mile away. The shores of Southampton Water are breath-taking and the historic and picturesque grounds of Royal Victoria Country Park offering 200 acres of mature woodland, grassy parkland in which to walk, picnic and relax is a short stroll from the property itself. For the sailing enthusiast there are a selection of marine and sailing facilities situated along the banks of the River Hamble.
